Guden GGN47-030-C Gas Spring 30 Lb Plastic Ball Socket

Product Description

The GUDEN GGN47-030-C is a nitrogen-charged gas spring designed to provide controlled linear force for lifting, counterbalancing, and positioning applications. The unit delivers 30 lb of force through a black nitride-coated piston riding in a 0.59-inch outer-diameter steel tube with a 0.24-inch rod diameter. Extended length is 17.18 inches and compressed length is 11.01 inches, giving a 6.18-inch stroke. The plastic ball socket end fitting allows for straightforward articulating attachment in a wide range of mounting configurations. This type of hardware is typically installed by maintenance technicians, millwrights, or OEM assembly personnel.

Gas springs like the GGN47-030-C are used in industrial equipment, tooling fixtures, truck caps, enclosure lids, access panels, and machinery covers where consistent controlled force over a repeatable stroke is required. The M6 x 1.00 threaded end connection and plastic ball socket end fitting make this unit adaptable to both custom fabricated and standard off-the-shelf mounting hardware. It is suited for both light industrial and commercial equipment applications where a compact, self-contained force element is needed without external pneumatic or hydraulic supply lines.

Key Features

• 30 lb nitrogen gas force output for consistent counterbalance performance
• Black nitride piston coating for corrosion resistance and extended service life
• Plastic ball socket end fitting allows articulating movement at the mount point
• M6 x 1.00 threaded connection for standard hardware compatibility
• 6.18-inch stroke in a compact 17.18-inch extended length package
• Steel construction for durability in industrial environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit gas spring for equipment, enclosures, and assemblies requiring a 0.24-inch rod diameter, 0.59-inch tube diameter unit with a plastic ball socket end fitting and M6 x 1.00 thread.

Installation Notes

Gas springs should be installed by qualified technicians familiar with mechanical hardware and force-element applications. Before replacing or installing, relieve any preloaded force on the existing assembly and ensure the mounting structure is rated to handle the applied load. The ball socket end fitting must be fully seated on the mating ball stud before putting the assembly into service. Do not disassemble the gas spring cylinder or attempt to recharge the nitrogen gas charge.
